Re: [gentoo-user] gentoo extras cd
Hi, I know that for x86/AMd 64 there is a Packages CD. Try searching on your country mirrors for the CD. Best regards, Cristi Stoica Justin Kelly wrote: Hi All, Ive been using Gentoo PPC for a while, and as a dial-up user find to difficult to download all the packages i want(just takes to long), is there anything like the Packages CD but more :) Does anyone know if a 3rd party/or gentoo provides such a thing? I don't mind paying for such a CD/DVD. ie. So i can just emerge -K inkscape etc..., all the useful desktop type packages that aren't included in the packages CD. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated. Justin Kelly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Hi, I would like to know if anybody used mysql to store and load the rules for iptables and if there is any script for this allready available or any sugestions. ( Personally I woul like to try a combination of mysql + php + iptables to be able to remotely control the firewall, and I do not want webmin ) Best regards -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel
Hi, If it's any help: I'm using 2.6.12-gentoo-r4 kernel not a genkernel. Maybe the version of kernel on your computer is newer than the one on the live cd, try a downgrade and see if it help. Best regards Timur Aydin wrote: Erik Osterholm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Are you using the Event interface? No. I tried enabling support for it. I have also enabled support for the Event interface debug. After booting this kernel, nothing changed. The are no syslog debug messages when I turn the wheel, so the kernel apparently doesn't "see" the wheel turning.
Re: [gentoo-user] [asking again] keyboard/mouse woes on 2.6 kernel
Hi, I had that problem also ( mouse going crazy and keyboard was not responding ( my chipset was nForce 2 on the motherboard )) and there are to ways to fix it:( from my point of view). First try with the live cd and see if you still get the same problems and if not probably you have something done wrong you could try a genkernel and see if with the new kernel is doing the same thing and if not and you do not like the genkernel see what modules are enabled and try to build your kernel with manual. In xorg I have the mouse device : Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Hope it helps since with my computer it worked with a new kernel emerged and manually configured.

I have an AMD64 system (but I am running the 32 bit version of Gentoo on it) and I am seeing mouse problems. The mouse wheel doesn't work at all. Sometimes the mouse pointer starts jumping all over the screen, with random click events here and there. Then it recovers for a while and then same cycle repeats again later. I am suspecting that this is related to a bug in udev... I will try switching back to devfs to see if that makes a difference. -- Timur Aydin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] dma is off
Hi, I had the same problem and I've installed gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r5 and the problem was gone, the old kernel was gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r3. Now I'm running on gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 and it's ok.
